CHRISTIAN VIRTUES

Our Christian Virtues are at the centre of everything we do at Holy Cross School. They help us to live out our Christian Vision of, ‘With God all things are possible’ (Matthew 19:26)

The Virtues we explore and strive to live by are:

The Virtue of Service

I have shown you in all things that by working hard in this way we must help the weak, remembeing the words that the Lord Jesus himself said "There is more happiness in giving then recieving" [Acts 20:35]

The Virtue of Compassion

Be kind and tender-hearted to one another, and forgive on another, as God has forgiven you through Christ. [Ephesians 4:3]

The Virtue of Courage

Remember that I have commanded you to be determined and confident!  Do not be afraid or discouraged, for I, the Lord your God, am with you wherever you go. [Joshua 1:9]

The Virtue of Hope

To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see. [Hebrews 11:1]

The Virtue of Love

And to all these qualities add love, which binds all things together in perfect unity. [Colossians 3:14]

The Virtue of Thankfullness

Be thankful in all circumstances.  This is what God wants from you in your life, in union with Christ Jesus. [1 Thessalonians 5:18]
